  • Publication number: 20160070118
    Abstract: An eyewear assembly with pivotal lenses allows the lenses to be pivoted and interchanged as needed to ensure that desired lenses are readily accessible. The assembly includes a frame having a pair of temples and a front. The front is coupled to and extends between the pair of temples. A lens assembly is provided and includes a first pair of lenses. Each of the lenses of the first pair of lenses is pivotally coupled to the front of the frame to allow the lenses of the first pair of lenses to be pivoted toward and away from the front of the frame.

  • Patent number: 8649139
    Abstract: A power circuit protection system includes a current sensor configured to measure a first current level through a conductor of the circuit, a voltage sensor configured to measure a first voltage level across a plurality of conductors of the circuit, and a controller communicatively coupled to the current sensor and to the voltage sensor. The controller is configured to receive a first signal from the current sensor, wherein the first signal is representative of the first current level, and receive a second signal from the voltage sensor, wherein the second signal is representative of the first voltage level. Based on the first signal and the second signal, the controller is configured to determine whether to activate a first circuit protection device or a second circuit protection device.

  • Publication number: 20070153438
    Abstract: An electrical distribution panel includes a backplane, a circuit breaker comprising a load conductor for transmitting electrical power to a load, and a load sensing assembly comprising a load sensor operatively coupled to the load conductor for detecting an electrical load of the load conductor and generating a load signal proportional to the electrical load. The load sensing assembly is selectively positionable with respect to the load conductor at a plurality of fixedly secured positions on the backplane to facilitate positioning the load sensor with respect to the load conductor.
